I am curious if it's just me.
Peanut butter...If it ain't Peter Pan, I don't want it.(yeah the issues a year or so ago was hard on me)
Bread...We buy from either Wal Mart or a small store near s that has Bunny Bread. Only two places we have found that is consistent with soft bread.
Mao...Only one kind, and it's Dukes
T paper..I prefer Scott's
Paper towels, I prefer Bounty select a size
Only Steak Sauce is A-1
Coffee Maxwell House or Foldgers
Dog Food, has to be Joy Special Meal, all she will eat
Drinks Diet Sun Drop, Leslie prefers name brand, but has no problem with Sam's Cola
Margarine Leslie prefers Country Crock Churn Style
Bologna Prefer Oscar Myer Beef
Snack Crackers Lance is always good
Tomato's, prefer home grown, but when I have to buy i will get the vine ripe or hot house

But!
Milk I don't care, where ever it's cheapest
Eggs, all come from a chickens butt
Mustard, store brand is fine
Ketchup, not big on it, but some better than others
Sandwich bags, zippered bags, aluminum foil, What ever is cheapest
Cereal, Store brands are fine
Can goods, Never buy name brands, and almost all from Aldi
Cheese, We get the store brand or from Aldi
Hot Dogs, prefer Oscar Myer Beef, but Aldi Beef are good
Bologna Aldi Beef is OK
Saltines, Store brand


OK just a few, How do you shop?
 
Pretty much the only thing Im brand loyal on is hot dogs and balogna: If it aint Carolina Packers, I aint eating it.

Living in Lexington, there aren't many places to grocery shop. We don't like going to Food Lion so we shop at Wal-Mart. Prices are cheap and quality isn't that bad. When we lived in Greensboro, we always shopped at Harris Teeter though.

Brand Loyal... not really to anything. But I do have those items that I prefer and wish they'd stop fawking with; example: Oreo's. The original is just fine. I don't need Mint, I don't need Double stuff, vanilla, chocolate covered or any of that stooopid crap! Wish my wife wouldn't buy them!

cant believe A-1 steak sauce :shaking: if a steak is cooked right there should never be a need for steak sauce. A good dry-rub/olive oil brush will make you put that steak sauce crap away, trust me. also to keep your steaks juicy let the meat rest a few min after taking them off the grill, not cutting right into them will retain the juices. NEVER, NEVER cut into your steaks while cooking them, use a thermometer if your not sure (they are cheap) . I feel like this should be common knowledge, but if not hope this will change your lives :flipoff2: or at least your steak eating habits. But on the mao, DUKES baby! its the only one, everything else is salad dressing. Carolina Packards are some bad ass hot dogs, fried in an iron skillet, oh yeah!
 
hmm, this ought to be interesting...

Rides, Jeep or Ford (trucks only)...
Cereal, Frosted flakes
Milk, don't care, don't drink it
soft drinks, Coke or Sun Drop only, no Pepsi whatsoever...
TP, John Wayne, cause its cheap and we use plenty of it...
work boots, Red Wing only!
hiking boots, Italy made Vasque only!
Cell service, US Cellular all the way!
Lawn equipment, Stihl if they make what I'm looking for, Airens mowers
Mayo, Dukes, didn't know there were any other brands...
Dog food, Iams only for Junior...
Cat food, whatever...
Beer, Hinekin, Rolling Rock, or anything German
ice cream, Bryers
energy drink, Red Bull
tires, BFG
fast food, Wendys & Bojangles
 
I have a lot of loyalties, but with good reason...Coke just tastes better than Pepsi - I don't care what the can says, but I'll be loyal to the taste...same with Sundrop over Dew, etc...
only irrational brand loyalty I can think of is that I still like Adidas over other tennis shoes...They're comfortable and all, but I'm sure other brands are also...

fresh cut steaks, 1.5-2" thick, let sit until at room temp before putting on the grill. Salt, pepper, Garlic powder and Dillweed only. Get grill HOT as you can, or the grate all but touching the coals. 5 minutes on each side don't touch it while on the grill except to flip it and then take it off! Resist the temptation, just don't flip it but once!
 
Drink= Pepsi
Mayo= Best Foods (AKA Hellmans here on the right coast)
vehicles I would not own = toyota, nissan, dodge(except with a CTD), MBZ,
4x4=Jeep or Ford

Can you tell me why let it rest to room temperature though? :lol: AND Can anyone tell me the salt of choice to use on anything (hint, Its NOT table salt.)

My parents provide the food here, so the brands are up to them...

The beer of choice for my father though, IS Milwaukee's Best Light. He consumes the beast regularly, and if it wasnt for me, he wouldn't have ever had any of the tastier more expensive ones in the fridge on any regular basis.
 
Miracle Whip
Miller Lite
Miller High Life Lite
Little Debbie--fattie cakes(all)
Strawberry w/frosting Pop Tarts
Carolina Packers hot dogs ONLY
Any wheat bread

Also FREE (theres Miller or free beer)
Also the same with food
 
GM for trucks
SA XD for pistols
AR for rifles
Mossberg for shot guns
remington and winchester ammo
and pretty much anything else i can do whatever
 
Really the only brand loyalites I have are:

Nutro dry dog food
Kong dog toys (only thing the pits won't eat in 5mins.)
3M auto refinisning products
Dupont paints
Sata spray equipment
Sierra bullets (all my rifles will keep a 3 shot group the size of a quarter)

The rest is pretty much up for grabs normally.

As far as vehicular brand loyalties, I can claim none. I have GM, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Volkswagen, and about half of a Toyota. Although both Dodges and one Chevrolet are for sale, and what's left of the 'yota is going to the scrapyard Friday.
